Whether you’re new to skiing or a seasoned mountaintop athlete, you will love spending time on Mohawk Mountain. Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Connecticut, it’s the perfect place to spend a day this winter season. Check it out:
Mohawk Mountain Ski Area is part of the Southern Berkshires, making it a scenic winter paradise. As both the oldest and largest ski area in the state, it offers endless opportunities for fun in the snow.
In fact, it's nicknamed "the home of snowmaking" because it's creator, Walter Schoenknecht, was a snowmaking innovator. A producer of snow since 1948, you won't be able to tell the difference!
The summit offers a 650 foot vertical drop that the more experienced skiier and snowboarder will love. But there are also plenty of beginner friendly options, as the mountain is home to 24 different trails.
Hop off at Pine Lodge for a cozy escape at a rustic restaurant and lounge. Located halfway up the mountain, it's a ski-in, ski-out full service dining area with plenty of delicious options.
The glassed in patio is wind resistant, and with the fireplace blazing you can enjoy the lakefront views, even in the winter. Few winter wonderlands are as charming and warm as this wonderful lodge.
Located at 6 Great Hollow Road, West Cornwall, Connecticut 06796.
Mohawk Mountain is a great place to spend the weekend with family. But it’s not the only way to experience a winter wonderland in Connecticut. Head to the Pink Sleigh Christmas Store for an unrivaled shopping experience and an indoor light show!
